Good Hope Lake BY George Holman Good Hope Lake ‘Ladies Social Club held a successful ‘“Rummage & Bake Sale’’ on Wednes- day March 23, 1977 in the Recreation Centre. Door Prize went to Patrick Dennis of Good Hope Lake. U.N.N. local 167 held their draw for a Thal- tan Parka - The winner was L.M. Shymko of Dawson Creek. The parka will be tailored for the winner by Mrs. Evelyn Rattray of Good Hope Lake. The proceeds from the draw will help pay for renovations on the Community Hall. The daily marchers you see along the roads and trails about Good Hope Lake are the ladies of Good Hope Lake, out for their daily walk for fitness. Come on you guys - its time to get in shape for those summer hikes and fishing trips. The motoring public are reminded to use caution in known ice areas, and watch for road crews steaming out culverts in these areas. There is a flurry of activity in Cassiar Country for spring to find a bountiful fishing hole. Just - join the growing ranks of chilblain cheaters at your favorite lake and drill yourself one through the ice. The custom of fishing through the ice is as familiar today as it was before the white man came to this country, but today’s incentive is not the same. Today's ice fisherman fishes be- cause it is a relaxing sport. The early inhabitant had to fish through necessity, to obtain food. - First of all, to enjoy ice fishing safely and comfortably, proper clothing is essential. Foot- wear is especially important, though often over- looked. Felt lined snow boots (those sported by snowmobilers) are ideal, provided they fit pro- -perly. Lightweight thermal underwear, insulated vests, coveralls, down parkas or snowmobile suits and. balaclavas are what the well dressed angler will be wearing. An extra pair of gloves or mitts is also useful. Whether you're driving a car, truck, snowmo- bile, or just walking, your safety depends on the thickness of the ice. Over lakes with clear, blue ice, the following table applies: f ICE THICKNESS PERMISSABLE LOAD as construction equipment is being moved into ae One person on foot the area for the up coming road building con- 3” Group in single file tracts, y”? : Sunday School now being held each Sunday Li Sees fen) in the Public School.

Beware of slush ice; it only has half strength. 3 Ice fishing requires less tackle than other types of angling. Except for a gadget to cut the hole in the ice, the essentials needed won’t fill a shirt pocket and consist of a hand line, float, split shot and a No. 8 to 12 size hook. There are many seasoned fishermen who use nothing more than 20 yards of 8 pound test monofilament line carried on a small line holder. This with small hooks, float and split shot com- pletes their gear. If lack of a suitable outfit keeps you from joining the ice fishing league, make up this small pocket size kit. Dress warmly. and pay close attention to your footwear and enjoy fishing this winter. Ice fishing can be fun. Once you have had a good day on the ice you get as hooked as your quarry! HERE’S A TIP: Local ice fishermen have been reporting good catches using shrimp for bait. by Rae Esplen NEWS from Rouleau, Barry and Helena, Alfred, Charles a son, born at 8:39 p.m., March 3, 1977 in Prince George.
